Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Catalino is an excellent doctor. Smart, compassionate and enjoys what he does. Face to face contact. Excellent beside mannet

Dr. Catalino was direct but very sensitive to my response in learning that my tumor had recurred. He thoroughly explained my status and the plan going forward. He offered to meet with me to review any further questions after I had an opportunity to absorb the recurrence information.

I could tell the Doctor really cared and wants to help make my symptoms go away. It was nice that he didn't just say this my life now like some doctors in the past have done.

My chances of making it was in Dr Catalino's hands. I'm glad to know he actually cares about his patients. He came to see me in the hospital every day to check on me and see how I was recovering. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. He's an incredibly remarkable human being.

Wonderful!
Met with Dr. Catalino for a brain meningioma. He explained everything very thoroughly and patiently answered all questions. He had a great plan to move forward. He called me personally several times to discuss the plan and answer questions. He expertly performed the surgery with no complications and took the time to speak personally with my family afterwards to discuss the surgery with them. A very patient and caring neurosurgeon and would recommend to anyone.
